Try It, You Might Like It

I come from a long line of crafters—we knit, crochet,

embroider, sew, etc. We enjoy the activities for their own

sakes as well as to have whatever object we’re producing,

but we’re also somewhat compelled to “keep our hands

busy.” Some people eat popcorn while they watch movies;

I color, and have since I was a kid.*

Coloring is relaxing and satisfyingly artsy without

being difficult, expensive, time consuming, or messy. When

coloring for adults became popular a couple of years ago, it made

sense to me. And as our parent company, Fox Chapel Publishing,

got involved in the trend and I saw a whole lot more coloring

books, something else made sense, too: coloring books make good

woodworking patterns.

To demonstrate some of the possibilities, we worked with a

team of woodworkers to make “Creative Projects from Coloring

Books” (page 46). I hope it will help you see the woodworking

potential in coloring books and serve as a springboard for making

your own projects. (I know most of you don’t scroll, but I included

the projects here for additional inspiration.) Of course you don’t

have to use Fox coloring books, although we have lots of good ones

and we’ve posted a few pages on our website to get you started.

Not interested in playing with patterns? No problem—this

issue has lots more to offer. We’ll teach you how to turn a photo

into a relief-carved portrait (page 86), and how to turn a relief-

carved block into a print (page 50). Keep busy all winter carving

a complete chess set (page 34). (It doesn’t take long to make each

piece, but you need quite a few of them.) Plan ahead for summer

and make a carving frame that will let you work outside (page 73).

Carve our panda cub, and then pull out your woodburner and

practice making fur texture (page 28). Start with the body and the

black paint will hide your mistakes as you learn the technique. By

the time you do the white areas, you’ll be an expert.

Finally, I’d like to draw your attention to our Reader Gallery,

which starts on page 8. We are always looking for artwork to

feature. Once you try one of the techniques in this issue, snap a

photo and send it in for consideration. If you need help taking good

photos, visit our website and type “photo tips” in the search box for

advice. We’d love to hear from you!

*OK, I eat popcorn, too. I particularly like

it with cheddar cheese powder.
